Picture this ... you spend time in prayer, praising and worshiping God. Your quiet time finished, you head out the door. On the way to work, a driver in a rush pulls out in front of you. You glare at the errant driver and mutter unkind words. During the morning at work, you find yourself listening intently to the latest office gossip. You meet a friend for lunch at a nearby restaurant. Getting your meal takes longer than expected and you blame it on the server, who is obviously new. Instead of encouraging the server, you show your impatience and leave a poor tip. And so on throughout the day. Obviously your attitude of praise uttered in the morning did not prevail in the day's activities.
